One Small Step of Courage
I promised to report back when I take steps of courage this year… since that is my word for 2015.
This is a tiny one; yet, a big one for me. I have never been a dark lip color lady; however, every time a get my makeup done for a special event the makeup artist puts darker colors on me. So, I decided to take the plunge and start wearing a darker color every day to see what I think about it.
The reviews have been great! Co-workers and friends seem to think I changed my whole makeup routine when the only thing changed is the lip and they like it!
I started with this BOBBI BROWN LIPSTICK in the color blackberry. If you purchase at Macy’s right now, it comes with a free gift.
Small steps of courage will lead to bigger ones! Has anyone else changed up your makeup for a new year. Visibility is confidence building…take the plunge! Oh yes, I will see you later today when I join the fashionable group from Patti’s Visible Monday!
I like this darker color on you. It balances with your dark hair nicely. Well done!
I love dark lipstick, especially in the winter…this shade looks great on you!

The colour suits you so well, Pam!
I am the same and usually only wear light lipstick but whenever a professional makeup artist applies my makeup, they use a darker colour!!! Funny isn't it?
I tend to be more "adventurous" in summer when I have a light sun tan as I feel the contrast isn't that harsh.
Have a lovely Sunday,

It brightens you up considerably! I like it a lot.
You wear it well, Pam! And your skin is looking FANTASTIC!!!
Thanks so much….I have to give all of the credit to IOMA-Paris…these products have turned my skin around…in the youthful direction!!
Very pretty lippy on you!

I wore a sheer red the last time I went out. I have to say that I felt rather grown up. 😉
This color looks great on you. I'm putting the colors in my Sephora memo page on my phone.
It gets longer and longer.
I also started wearing a darker lipstick recently, one of those things that I always stayed away from. Love the colour on you
You look lovely. As always!
hugs,
Janice
Love it Pam, I have gone with a darker lip as well. Whether a deep berry, so sumptuous or a bright red, so empowering and uplifting, it has definitely made a difference in my look!

I've heard that darker lips brighten your eyes. You look lovely.
Hi … just found your blog. Love the lipstick on you!! Will definitely be back!
Looks terrific on you Pam! A perfect balance to your dark eyeglass frames and hair. Bravo! I love the BB lipsticks.
I love the darker lipstick on you. With your skin tone and hair color I would suggest staying away from the rosy shades of red and more on the russet side but not orange. Love it!
I like that color on you! I just wrote a post about wearing more make up. I had a friend's daughter give me a makeover and I posted pictures on my blog. Still not sure what I think about it!
Love this color lipstick and love Bobbi Brown on you! SO pretty., I get in the mood for new makeup as the seasons change.

I love the lipstick color on you. I am a Bobbi Brown person so I will have to check out the lipstick. Thanks for sharing.
Great color for you! Karen
I love the darker color it brings out your natural coloring! Beautiful!
You GO, Pam!!! Looks great on you!!!
For many years I was afraid to wear dark lip color because I am so fair skinned, but I took the plunge about 8 years ago and I must say, I am hooked!
I'm a firm believer in color on our lips as we get *ahem, older. Otherwise our, as our lips start to lose their natural color, we look dead! This is a lovely shade on you! I'll be checking it out soon 🙂
